It's true that I'm never lacking for projects, and keep thinking I need to stop this craziness. The problem is that building is fun, every bit as much fun as riding. And I see some of the innovative ideas floating around here and start thinking up another project. And even when you've "finished" a bike, pretty soon the paint is suffering or you wish you'd done something differently or maybe just see ways you could make it look better and it is time for a makeover.
This tank has taken a lot more time and effort than I imagined it might and Dan needs to get going on his own projects before winter is gone, so if I do a tank for the Panther I'll try to apply what I'm learning as I watch Dan make the one in this thread. While the two tanks would be different since the frames are different, one a Schwinn and the other a Worksman, they are similar enough that I should be able to mimic (pretty much) what Dan has done and do the Panther tank myself. I may need him to look over my shoulder some as I'm laying out the long, top piece, but I think I can manage putting it together. But that's later on and there's this tank to finish up first. A couple more shop sessions should see it pretty well together. Can't wait to see it mounted in the frame! Thanks for the support, you guys.
